Amari Cooper Scores In Buffalo Debut

Sunday, October 20, 7:15 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper caught four passes for 66 yards and a touchdown in his first game with the team. Cooper, acquired via trade last week, scored on his first reception of the game in the third quarter. The 30-year-old wasn't deployed as often as other Buffalo wide receivers as he was still learning the playbook. On his touchdown, he appeared to ask rookie Keon Coleman what the play was before the ball was snapped. His involvement will only increase moving forward and should take snaps from Coleman and Mack Hollins. He'll be a WR2 when the Bills travel to Seattle next weekend.

Michael Pittman Jr. Leads Way For Indy In Win

Monday, October 21, 1:14 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught three of his five targets for 63 yards in the team's 16-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. Pittman accounted for almost half of Indianapolis' receiving yards on Sunday, with quarterback Anthony Richardson throwing for just 129 yards in the contest. Most of Pittman's production came from a 33-yard throw from Richardson in the first half that set up a field goal before the half expired. Like the rest of Indy's pass-catchers, their ceilings take quite a hit with Richardson as the starter, but Pittman showed today he still provides a solid floor and can be trusted moving forward. He can be viewed as a WR3 option in Week 8 when the Colts take on the Houston Texans.
